Everything draws on the same estate.

Over 100 checks included, covering hardware, network, security and services

Backup monitoring for Veeam, Acronis, Cove, Altaro, Arcserve, Synology, Windows Server Backup and more

Agentless monitoring via SNMP v3, TR-064 and the VMware API — switches, firewalls, UPS units, printers, NAS, ESXi

Custom checks in PowerShell, Bash or as an SNMP query, including a live test against a real device

Alert escalation based on failure rate rather than every single blip — fewer false alarms

TV mode as a wallboard for the service desk

Deployment rings: test group first, then the wider estate — each ring with its own maintenance window and device rules

Automatic promotion to the next ring only once a defined success rate is met

Approval workflow per patch cycle: approve everything, critical only, reject or enforce

Exclusions by update ID, KB number or category, including known problem updates

Restart control with user-initiated deferral instead of a forced reboot in the middle of the working day

Update catalogue with severity filter and vendor notes

One process for all three operating systems: Windows, macOS and Linux — no separate tooling per platform

octoja uses the package sources already present on each system

Identify outdated software per device and update it selectively or across the estate

Custom packages with versioned installation steps and a test installation before rollout

Software kiosk on the endpoint: users install approved applications themselves

Software inventory across the entire estate, including licence key capture

Configuration packages bundle checks, software and automations and apply automatically via rules

Build rules in plain language or write them in OQL, octoja's query language

Triggers: new device, schedule or manual start

Actions: run a script, install software, restart a device, send a webhook, post a Teams message, raise a ticket, set a tag, write a field

Conditions, variables from previous steps and defined behaviour on failure or when a device is offline

Test run and a complete execution history

Remote desktop with multi-monitor support, clipboard sync, file transfer and user consent

Interactive terminal (PowerShell, CMD, bash) with multiple sessions and saved commands

File browser with upload, download, ZIP, search and disk space analysis

View, start, stop and end services and processes live

Registry editor and filtered event log view

Active Directory tasks on domain controllers: create users, disable accounts, reset passwords

Wake-on-LAN via a neighbouring device at the same site

Capture hardware, software, services, network adapters, shares, local accounts and groups automatically

Inventory history with change comparison: what changed, when and on which device

Windows licence keys and warranty information from selected manufacturers

Custom fields for devices and customers, automatic tagging via rules

Export as CSV, import from existing documentation tools

Connect VMware ESXi and vCenter: list virtual machines, power them on and off, review host performance

Create and roll back snapshots from the interface — without opening the vSphere client

Hyper-V with host health and the status of individual virtual machines

Manage firewalls as fully fledged devices: OPNsense, Sophos XG, FortiGate, WatchGuard, SonicWall, Securepoint UTM, Check Point and others

Depending on the model, also throughput per interface, open sessions, VPN state, HA status, firmware currency plus CPU and memory utilisation

Switches, access points, printers, NAS systems and UPS units in the same estate — with no agent at all

Wake-on-LAN via a neighbouring device at the site when the target device is switched off

Your own product name and window title instead of “octoja”

Brand and secondary colour, set separately for the light and dark interface

Your own logo and icon, each in a light and dark variant, plus your own mascot on the sign-in page

Your own domain for your instance, with guidance for the DNS records and an automatic availability check

The branding extends into the agent on the endpoint — your end customers see you, not us

Reports are generated and sent as PDFs in the same branding

17 ready-made templates, including management summary, patch compliance, backup status, SLA and incident reports

Build your own reports by drag-and-drop from around 40 widgets with a live preview

Scheduled delivery to fixed recipient lists, per customer or site

Output as PDF in your own branding

Delivery history with the status of each run

Ticketing and PSA systems: DocBee, TANSS, TOPdesk, c-entron, HaloPSA, Autotask, Jira Service Management, Freshservice, Inserve, Odoo and others

Documentation: Hudu, IT Glue, woasi

Security: Bitdefender GravityZone and Lywand vulnerability audit

Alerting via Microsoft Teams, email, signed webhooks as well as SMS, phone call, WhatsApp and app push

Notification groups with their own service hours per channel — into the ticketing system during the day, by phone call to the on-call engineer at night, with days and times freely configurable, including across midnight

Escalation based on failure rate rather than every blip: an alert only once a defined proportion of recent checks fails — by count or period, above a minimum severity

Alerts raised outside service hours are held back and delivered in the next window rather than being lost; all-clear messages always go through immediately

An alert latch per channel prevents alert floods, and on all-clear the ticket in the external system closes automatically

MCP server with graduated permissions so AI assistants can access the estate under control

Documented REST API with an open Swagger interface
